Answer:

<em>vf=79.38 m/s</em>

<em>y= 321.5 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion</u>

A free-falling object falls under the exclusive influence of gravity. Free-falling objects do not encounter air resistance.

If an object is dropped from rest in a free-falling motion, it falls with a constant acceleration called the acceleration of gravity, which value is g = 9.8 m/s^2.

The final velocity of a free-falling object after a time t is given by:

vf=g.t

The distance traveled by a dropped object is:

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

1.

The penny will fall for t=8.1 s before hitting the ground, thus the height from which it was dropped is:

\displaystyle y=\frac{9.8\cdot 8.1^2}{2}

y= 321.5 m

2.

The final velocity is:

vf=9.8\cdot 8.1

vf=79.38 m/s

Describe the story of the constellation Capricornus. WILL MARK BRAINLEST IF NOT STOLEN FROM A WEBSITE OR ANYTHING WITH A PROPER
ICE Princess25 [194]

Your answer:

In Greek mythology, this constellation is related with the time the Olympian gods sought refuge in Egypt. Unfortunately, following their epic fighting with the Titans, peace did not closing for long, as the monster Typhon, son of the Titan Tartarus and Earth, sought revenge. Typhon was once a fearsome fire-breathing creature, taller than mountains and with palms which possessed dragons' heads in region of fingers. The Olympian gods sought to break out by way of adopting a number disguises: Zeus, a ram - Hera, a white cow, Bacchus (another model of the fable suggests Pan) a goat. As Typhon approached, Bacchus/Pan threw himself into the Nile but, in a panic, solely succeeded in altering part of his body, ending up with a goat's physique and the tail of a fish. Meanwhile, Zeus had been dismembered via Typhon, however was saved when Bacchus/Pan let out an ear-splitting yell, distracting the monster lengthy ample for an agile Hermes to gather the supreme god's limbs and cautiously fix him. In gratitude, Zeus transferred Bacchus/Pan to the heavens.

A parallel-plate capacitor has a voltage of 391 v applied across its plates, then the voltage source is removed. what is the vol
andrezito [222]

When the capacitor is connected to the voltage, a charge Q is stored on its plates. Calling C_0 the capacitance of the capacitor in air, the charge Q, the capacitance C_0 and the voltage (V_0=391 V) are related by

C_0 =\frac{Q}{V_0} (1)


when the source is disconnected the charge Q remains on the capacitor.


When the space between the plates is filled with mica, the capacitance of the capacitor increases by a factor 5.4 (the permittivity of the mica compared to that of the air):

C=k C_0 = 5.4 C_0

this is the new capacitance. Since the charge Q on the plates remains the same, by using eq. (1) we can find the new voltage across the capacitor:

V=\frac{Q}{C}=\frac{Q}{5.4 C_0}

And since Q=C_0 V_0, substituting into the previous equation, we find:

V=\frac{C_0 V_0}{5.4 C_0}=\frac{V_0}{5.4}=\frac{391 V}{5.4}=72.4 V

Why are the plates in a capacitor parallel to each other?
TiliK225 [7]
To have a uniform field. The field is the voltage between the plates divided by the distance between the plates. If the distance varies so would the field between them.
